Wiskey and Trees

This post is going to be pretty random. I wanted to blog about the service two weekends ago but last week just went by so fast. Did you see it; I don’t even remember it, it went by too fast. Anyway, we’ll start there. We had a military service for Grandpa which was nice, and I thought he had a 21 gun salute but no it was just 18. Apparently only high up mucky, mucks get a 21 gun salute. Either way it was still loud but very moving. Grandma was presented with the largest flag ever for a person, and they play Taps with a real bugle, and not a record. I guess they don’t always have a bugler to play which is kind of sad because it sounds so much better. After the service we all went back to Grandma’s house to finish off a bottle of Whiskey. Every one except for the kids got a shot, and then there was just enough for most people to have two shots. A few of use did not take the second shot for various reasons. It was pretty cool though, after we were all done we turned out glasses upside down on the train that held the drinks and his urn, we place a flag in the bottle and there was a tribute; quite a nice way to remember such a wonderful person.

Before I get on to more exciting things I just wanted to share this one picture. It’s not very good but here’s the story. My flash card and camera record the number of pictures I take in a continuous order. So here is my 10,000th picture. Now in the big scheme of things this might not seem like a lot, but I would figure for the everyday person, that is a lot. Now for a professional photographer this would be just a drop in the bucket. I tend to try to take better pictures once instead of hundreds of pictures to get a few good ones. We’ll see how long that lasts for me. Here’s to the next 10,000. (of course it started over at one)
